Building A More Proficient Workforce With Panopto
Toyoda Iron Works Co. Ltd. (TOYOTETSU)—a global automotive parts manufacturer—needed a faster, more consistent way to train a diverse workforce across 26 facilities. Traditional handwritten notes and in-person instruction created inconsistent results, language barriers, and long onboarding times.
To modernize training, TOYOTETSU adopted Panopto, creating high-quality video tutorials from senior experts and making them accessible to every employee.
Just-in-Time Training With QR Codes
By attaching QR codes to equipment on the factory floor, employees can now scan with a smartphone and instantly watch the precise training video they need. This approach has improved consistency, simplified multilingual training, and sped up learning across all shifts.
Proven Results With Panopto
- 50% faster onboarding (40 hours → 20 hours)
- 24% higher test-pass rate for the National Trades Skills Test
- Easier knowledge sharing across production lines
- More flexible labor allocation and skill development
Panopto now serves as TOYOTETSU’s centralized platform for training, performance review, and knowledge retention.
Expanding Video Training Globally
TOYOTETSU plans to scale Panopto across all offices worldwide, including use cases for executive communication, R&D updates, and internal knowledge libraries.
